From A to Zed

Hi all, long time no speak here as I am now emersed in the world of all things Lotus. I have a pair of OEM cats in my garage which were removed from 47,000 mile, 2003 Zed (replaced with BERK HFCs). The pair have been sat in my garage for three years, so I should really give them away to free up space! One stud will be need pressing/drilling out as it half snapped. No nuts, no bolts, no gaskets. Collection only from Chelmsford **FREE** Ideal for MOTs etc if you are running bypass pipes. Thanks, Matt matt_mccarthy500@hotmail.com

sold pending payment. Thanks all, matt

Sold to a nice lad called Lee, he will hopefully show his face on the forum soon. Cheers, Matt ** http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3658473.htm ** Hi all, First of all I apologise for being a stranger of late. Amongst other things my father passed away last May so my priorities have shifted away from the car scene and obviously towards to my family. Anyway... After four wonderful years I am reluctantly selling my 350Z . I have recently acquired a gorgeous ruby red S1 Elise (which is currently in storage) as I intend to get into the track scene this year. Given this I am willing to close a quick sale, at a sensible price of course. I also need a second car so I am willing to PX on a clean, practical car with some credibility. An E46 worth between 2-3k would make an ideal stable mate. A Golf 4 GTI, Sporty Seat etc would also be considered. I would love to keep the Nissan but it's too nice to park outside/not use. Forum members are welcome to PM me. No it's not the cheapest but I feel the expensive additions support the price at 8,150 neg. As mentioned in the advert the tax is due on April 1st, MOT Dec 2012. The last service was less than 3000 miles ago but this was a year ago now. I reiterate that I am fluid on price. I am a busy professional so please, no offers to break the car or sell this and that separately. ** http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3658473.htm ** Thanks, Matt http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3658473.htm

This flat is for sale just outside my office. I thought it would be worth mentioning that it is not mine... http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for ... 61289.html

Hi Martin, Are your discs quite old? I experienced a similar problem when my wheels were last aligned. Upon removing the wheel for a closer look (and listen) I realised that the rubbing was coming from the rear face of my disc. I removed the disc and found that the backing plate was quite corroded so I cleaned it thoroughly with a wire brush and removed some surface rust/rot on my disc. This solved the problem until I replaced my discs... Having the wheels aligned seemed to trigger the issue for me so it is possible that you disturbed something / a piece of corroded disc has become lodged causing the rubbing sound. It might be worth a look Matt

Hi Chris, Megs last touch is awesome and it lasts for ages. Matt.

+1 that is lovely looking Zed, nothing OTT about it all. Matt

And sorry about the tardiness of my response... A bad day at the office was followed by much needed

Hi mate, I bought my Berks from Charles at B2 designs, see thread; viewtopic.php?f=115&t=32836 They arrived very quickly and Charles was a pleasure to deal with. Import taxes come to £90-£95 (I forget the exact amount). I think you will be pleased with them Cheers, Matt

Have you thought about a Stillen Y Pipe and a pairs of Berk HFCs? You could also speak to Abbey about their XYZ pipe? I installed my Berk high flow cats last weekend (the decats were too smelly and too raspy for me) and I am very pleased with the fit and finish. As an added bonus the Berk HFCs are much lighter than then OEM cats. Matt
